Hello,
I saved an email (from Mail on Windows 10) in my folders.
How can I get the file or print it by right-clicking?
Thank you for your help.
Configuration: Windows / Chrome 85.0.4183.102

Hello,
You cannot do anything from the file explorer: there is no "Save As" or "Print" option.
When you click on the eml file, Windows will suggest opening it with an email client:
If your email client is Mail, you won't be able to do anything either, as this software is very limited (generally, it's considered a real piece of junk!).
Use Thunderbird, which has many more possibilities: https://www.thunderbird.net/fr/
Thunderbird will open the eml file.
In the File tab, you will find Print; click on it.
Do not use your regular printer but select Microsoft Print to PDF from the list of offered printers.
This will create a PDF file.
Note! If there are attachments in the email, they will not be included in the PDF.
Later, you can configure Thunderbird to receive your mail.
